not bad LOUDANDPROUDGTP for using VHT
Thanks even if it is backhanded. Speaking of Pics why can't I find any of your car on here? Just curious.:th_thumbsup-wink:Quote:

Flip, you have a PM :)
i work at O'reillys. we carry it in stock now! been wanting to try it, but my luck cops would harass me lol
For those of you using clear coat, too - what brand works best and doesn't lift from the VHT base coat?
I used this stuff about 15-20 years ago on my '81 GP and always liked the look it produced.
i used automotive clear, came in a small rattle can. got it at meijirs
What is the solvent for the VHT to remove it? If it gets too dark and someone wants to redo it or if they just don't like how it's turning out after they start? There's nothing on the can about it. Before I start, I would like to know about this.
gotta sand it off if i remember correctly...

VHT and automotive clear
Let me check later on tonight, i found a chemical that made life MUCH MUCH easier for getting it off. Citrus something I think...Quote:

so then when you get all the VHT off just clear over the tail light and then your good to goQuote:

I think Brake Cleaner takes the VHT off.. My freind has used it twice now to remove the spray..
oh god your exhaust
i screwed mine up at one point. didn't realize the clear coat had a vertical spray pattern and not just all around, well I ended up taking a stripe right out of the middle of the black. had to try sanding it off, didn't go well, so I used Diluted Citri-Clean which is an industrial cleaner/degreaser. Worked incredibly well, just a little bit of scrubbing and the black comes right off.
